When I try to Remote Control another user on a WTS 2008 server, I disconnect the other user and get a "Access denied" popup.

It's not a lack of permissions since I'm the Domain Admin. I think it has something with the W7 RDP client, but I haven't get any clue what to do about it.

Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

There are a multitude of acknowledged bugs that pertain to this specific issue. I have yet to get it to succesfully work on anything other than R2 with a W7 client with no multimonitors, but check out the solutions listed below to see if they apply to your situation.

Have you configured the Terminal Server to allow remote control of sessions without prompting the user? This can be changed on the RDP-TCP object in Terminal Services Manager, or with Group Policy. If this isn't set, you won't get control until the user explicitly approves it.

Also good to know: starting with Server 2008 R2, Remote Desktop Services supports multiple-monitor connections. However, it's impossible to remote control a session that is using multiple monitors, so if you rely on remote control then you should disable multi-monitor support.
